The Costa Brava is quite simply beautiful at any time of the year. During the winter you can enjoy the numerous ski resorts in the Pyrenees which is only 1.5 hour drive away. Summer is for either relaxing by the pool or exploring the beautiful coastline beaches of which there are too many to mention, ranging from wide sandy bays to secluded pine clad coves. The local area is great for the outdoor life... walking, running, cycling, sailing, trekking, mountaineering, parachuting, paragliding, hot air ballooning, sub aqua, golf and horseback riding. Not forgetting the Grand Prix enhthusiasts who want to experience the Formula 1 Grand Prix in May or the World Rally Championships in October.
30 minutes drive away is the provincial capital of Girona. Its great for shopping, museums, ancient buildings, monuments, churches and markets. Drive a little bit further past Girona and you will find Figueres, birthplace of Salvador Dali and home to the major artists museums. Less than 1 hour by car or train is Barcelona.This is one of our favourite cities with so much to see and do, full of great spectacular architectural treasures from Gaudi and home to the 1992 Olympic games. Las Ramblas, the most famous street in Spain is alive all hours of the day and night. Why not go and see a game of football or take a tour of the Camp Nou stadium, home of Barcelona FC - a must for all footy fans !!!!
We hope you enjoy it !!
